Around the NHL - The dog days of the season

[mpp9]

These divisional games need to stop going to f***ing OT.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Pens can’t catch a break...

You don’t need breaks if you keep winning.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Penalty against the Caps. Should have called one on them with a minute to go in regulation.

BJs win and they are mocking Kuznetsov.

 

[EightyOne]

f*** Kuznetsov. Yeah Im triggerd because he murders the Pens. But overall, what a lame ass ****wad celly. I don't care if his kid liked it. Go fly around at home then.

Also, wow, I could not listen to CBJ dude very long. Sorry CBJ fans. That guy is annoying as shit.

 

[BHD]

Watching Hainsey with the Leafs reminds me that the Pens managed to win a Cup with him playing major minutes.

and almost as importantly they didn’t

Edit: so weird that his good skills worked enough to fit in with what we needed (good positioning and a great stick to break up passes) to overcome his atrocious passing especially with how much he was on the ice. Great seeing a guy win who’s been around so long who hadn’t even played a single playoff game before that

 

[Randy Butternubs]

 

[Tom Hanks]

Amazing. That’s gotta be the peak of his individual career. Phil seemed stunned.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Haha i was about to mention that goal.

 

[Andy99]

The Isles and CBJ are winning...if that holds, CBJ will move past the Pens into second in the Metro and the Isles will be 2 points back of the Pens with a game in hand...if they win that game in hand then they would take over third place in the Metro by virtue of having more wins....just saying...we need a win in SJ...

 

[Bingo71]

So much this.

But hey, losing to the Kings is no big deal...

 

[TNT87]

It figures that TB is laying an egg against the Islanders.

 

[Tom Hanks]

They’d certainly be in trouble without good goaltending

 

[Honour Over Glory]

They’d certainly be in trouble without good goaltending

That team should be far better than it is.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

It figures that TB is laying an egg against the Islanders.

Our division doesn't seem to lose. Despite the Pens' strong last dozen games, we've basically put zero distance between us and any of them.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

It figures that TB is laying an egg against the Islanders.

We just laid a fat egg against the Kings.

So I mean...let's pump the brakes.

 

[Turin]

They’d certainly be in trouble without good goaltending

Lol or your team is mediocre. Dallas did a good job ruining one of the funnest teams.

 

[WayneSid9987]

They just don't have the good young talent to be more than mediocre.
Much like EDM, they're a one line team with not much underneath it.

Pretty big difference right now between the east and the west.

Habs are 8th in the east with 53 points, Wild the 8th place team in the west has 47 points.

Pens would be 9 points up on the last playoff spot if they played in the west.

 

[Shrimper]

Rumours Edmonton pumping up getting ready for trades for forwards.

They have like $50k in space

There’s rumours lots of teams around the league want to trade earlier rather than later.

Yeah Edmonton is pretty much screwed. They’ll make a bad trade maybe squeeze into the players and be worse off next season

If the cap hits $82m for next season then they'll have just $13m in space to sign Talbot, Koskinen, Gravel, Petrovic, Chiasson and RFA sign Khaira, Gambardella, Rattie, Puljujarvi and Reider.

They have a bunch of players playing below their contracts too some significantly and some basically immovable (Lucic)

Heard Jeff Marek relay a quote about the West requiring dmen to think faster in relation to Erik Karlsson and it was such a load of shit.

More dysfunction out of Dallas:

If Benn wasn't producing enough before, he sure will after this ringing endorsement!
